FILTER CHANGES

There are two separate filters that need to be changed: The True HEPA Filter and the AOC Carbon Filter, both of which will last up to 12 months. The process for changing the filters is simple and requires no tools. These filters should be changed when the Check Filter Indicator is illuminated, approximately once a year with regular use. Simply unplug the air purifier, gently pull the top of the front panel to remove it, and pull out the permanent pre-filter followed by the old filters. Insert new filters (HEPA FIlter in back then AOC Carbon in front) and return the permanent pre-filter and front panel onto the unit (for more specific instructions reference the owner’s manual link below). The Check Filter Indicator can be reset by placing the tip of a paperclip in the RESET hole for a few seconds.

AIR FLOW AND POSITIONING

Place the Winix 5500-2 Air Cleaner on a level surface. The air purifier pulls air in from the sides and sends clean air out from the top. Place the air purifier two feet from walls, furniture, curtains, and other home items that might block the airflow.
